MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSE!

They are everywhere!!!!

I nearly ran into one wednesday morning. I just saw the big black outline of it's massive body on the car lights coming at me and then WHOOSH! it disappeared, for my lights were not powerful enough. I decided a good ol' stomp on the brakes was in order, so I did. By the time I got to where I'd seen the moose, it was nonchalantly munching grass in the ditch. I went 80 for about 10 Km's.

Today... a moose was Schmucked on my highway about 30 minutes after I had driven by. I bet it was that same moose. Stupid animal. At least it could have waited for me to shoot it instead of getting splattered all over the road. And boy was it splattered.

In other news, I have found out that Hutterite cookies are Awesome! Take 2 home baked chocolate cookies and smush some very awesome cream cheese icing in the middle and you have a cookie sandwich. I ate 2 today. The other 2 are for the boys.

So much sugar.

I got to eat with the whole colony today. They had a late lunch because they butchered 3000 of their laying hens ($1.00 each don cha know?) this morning. I felt quite honored. We had chicken for lunch (hehe) and home made potato salad and coleslaw.  MMmmmmm.

I have to to go Calgary tomorrow. Someone thinks I'm intelligent enough to give a talk to first year teachers. I hope the Calgary teachers like me as much as the Edmonton ones did. I'm getting my travel expenses back, which is nice. And I get to visit with my old neighbours :) I'm actually breaking out the suit for this presentation. I wore jeans and a hoodie to the last one. I should probably look like I'm supposed to be there. My session is right after breakfast so I can be home by lunch. Then I'm planning to make some awesome eggplant parmesan and spaghetti squash.

TTFN!
